Default need your opinions on n3 install

well guys here is my dilemma. i purchased my n3 last week, and ive got one of "those other" custom head unit mounts coming in this week. so im gathering the necessary parts planning on letting one of the local shops do the install.

here is the problem. neither of the shops has mentioned the soundgate adapter which is supposedly the best one to use. the guy who i was plannning to take it to even told me he didnt think that was the right adapter, i think he said he was trying to get a price on a peripheral one?

i then checked with another shop and i just got the idea they have never done a corvette, so should i trust these guys, or just go ahead and tackle this myself? I have never changed a head unit out of anything, but i am very sound as far as looking at instructions and that sort of thing. its not the disecting of the car im worried about, it is having everything hooked up right.

so what do you guys think i should do? let a local shop who doesnt really sound like they know what theyre doing put it in, or try it myself?

oh yeah, what is the simplest hack for the n3? and will the only other thing i need be the bose adapter? i have the n3 and humount already.

dustin.

If you arent comfortable doing it yourself let the shop you like more do it and tell them you will supply the adapter they should be cool with it
